Mornin’…although I never went to sleep.
or just having trouble sleeping?
Either way I hope you have time for a nap.
All-nighter…and still studying. I have about 3 hours before I gotta get ready for a shift at the bank.
Quick Hello, then off to work.
Good morning Andi and Psi.
Psi were you up all night studying?
You know it. Still have 2 case studies to review and a bit of Japanese dialogue to write.
Goddamn school.
Sounds like there aren’t enough hours in the day for you.
I’m still trying to figure out why you always hear, college is the best time of your life. 🙂
I need the extra time to sleep. My life is a living hell right now.
Go around with an earworm in your head today and keep singing “Tomorrow” from Annie. 🙂
I’m too young to get the reference, I think.
It was a musical. You were probably still in diapers when it was showing. 😛
Sounded familiar.
Sorry for my apparent lack of humor, but I’m tired as hell and kinda mad at myself and a lot of other things at the moment.
No problem with me Psi.
I find with myself, the less sleep I get, the crankier I get. Do you have enough time to get a nap in before classes?
Nope.
To bad. Get some coffee and a shower and slap yourself in the face a couple of times. That might get you started.
I hope your day gets better.
Don’t drink coffee. Plan on downing plenty of Red Bulls, though.
And the day is not going to get any better.
Well that’s certainly an optimistic attitude.
I’ve never had Red Bull. Is that one of those caffeine packed soft drinks?
Hard to be optimistic.
And yeah, Red Bull is a super-caffeineted soft drink. Already drank 3 since the night began.
I think the closest I’ve come to Red Bull is Mountain Dew. Then again, I used to drink 2-3 pots of coffee a day, so Mountain Dew didn’t really do anything for me.
Well Psi I’ve got to get ready to go into the city for groceries.
I’ll be thinking about you and hoping your day smoothes out.
Everybody have a good day in the pond.
weren’t quite as a driven as psi.
Morning
Morning Andi. I agree with you about the not quite as drived, but in my case I was in reverse.
sunrise earlier this summer

I’m about to turn in after a long blogging evening, but just wanted to say hi, and say I hope to be around more now that summer is officially over… snow predicted here for today.
Nice trees ya got there, Andi
Glad to see you, even if only briefly.
Beautiful sunset (even if it doesn’t have trees)
Beautiful picture, NDD.
Lovely, NDD.
Good morning NDD and nice sunshot!
My latest practice, a variation on the Metta sutra, when seeing the sun rise or set is to think of all the political prisoners and all those who feel imprisoned by something in their lives and say “May you see the next sunrise in freedom. May I see the next sunrise in freedom. May we all see the next sunrise in freedom”
Good morning!
Psi, I hope you get a chance to get some sleep later today.
Andi, are you walking this am?
FM, have fun grocery shopping…it’s one of my least favorite chores.
I’m out of town working — might get a chance at noon but it’ll be a pavement stroll if I do. 🙁
If all goes according to plan, I am going to go to sleep right after my review session finished up tonight. 11 1/2 hours of sleep sure sounds enticing.
“Mornin'” to those of you who are just getting your Wednesday started.
I finally went out the back to take photos of the orchids, with the wrong lense (telephoto instead of macro) and in very strong winds – go figure.
I had to make full use of my 1.7 metre height to get at least 1.5 metres above my subjects.

This orchid is only an inch across.
That’s a gorgeous flower and even more enjoyable since I’m at a hotel with wifi so I can see the bigger versions right away.
Lucky you.
These are Pink Fingers. They are about half the size of Waxlips.
We’re were thrilled to get any orchids this year, because of the drought. We’re still waiting to see if we get White Musk orchids and Black-striped Greenhood orchids. I’m most worried about the Greenhoods.
BTW, I recently learned that Tasmania has almost 200 native orchids.
since I’d rather be at home, regardless of the connection speed.
200, huh. Looks like you can give Olivia some significant macro competition.
I know what you mean.
One last image (and a biggish one since you have the speed) and then it’s off to bed.
Luna, displaying her own “interest” in a Waxlip orchid (it survived unscathed).
Nighty night all.
Morning all. Its a mighty soggy morning here, Andi and supposed to turn chilly tonight. As usual, we’ve put off bringing all the house plants in until the last possible moment.
I was out last night registering voters till about 10 pm and had a blast!!!! I am taking this am off from work. LOL I have done a new podcast this am.

looks like it
I was just about to start to carry on a conversation with myself..notice the first post was at 7:00 A.M…
we’ll a4l the first post was at 5;00 a.m. you know the time most of ___ goto sleep.
sounds like a fun game we can play. Much better than the dirty acts of ____ usually committed in the Cafe 🙂
I would have to say Mary.
reputation is legendary, so are her lurking skills so you better watch out.
I’m off to run a bunch of errands for the evening. Cheers
I’m leaving too…
Dirty acts of Mary?
Lurker.
How’s Colin?
Getting better every day. He’ll have an impressive looking scar but I’m afraid they’ve ruined his cute little belly button.
Oh no. Not the bellybutton! How big an incision did they make?
It’s about 8 inches from just above his belly button, around it like a question mark and then down to his pubic bone. The surgeon said it was sort of tangled up in his intestines somehow. :/
Yikes! How is he dealing with missing classes?
Someone from the college came to the hospital and said that he had until the end of the year to make up any work – and he might get an incomplete but wouldn’t fail. Doc said no school for two more weeks but he is going to try to go back this coming Monday.
That’s good that they came to the hospital and let him know he didn’t have to worry so much.
Here’s a video camera question for all of you. We have an older hi-8 video camera with analog a/v output. Is there cabeling/gear available to connect it to a computer to download video?
why no lounge?
Beats me. What do you know about video connectors from old cams to computers? 😉
